The really interesting one to watch is Morganza. If flooding upriver gets as bad as it is forecast to they might look to open it once again. Combine that with the scare at Old River in 1973 and it's going to be worth watching what the Corps does. River levels in Greenville, MS and other areas nearby are already forecasted to be over 1973 levels not including the rains forecast this weekend and next week upriver.
I don't think they ever opened Morganza except for that one time in 1973 with the erosion problem.

If they do open it, I'd love to be there to witness.
